Chapter 975 Grant Her A Bottle of Poison

Well played, Joseph. Since you want your daughter to kill me, I no longer need to consider our brotherly bond.

Don't you care so much about your mentally challenged son? If that boy were to die, it would surely be a huge blow to you, wouldn't it?

If that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless.

With that thought in mind, he found 's number and dialed it.

No one answered on the other end.

Broderick was furious and dialed the number again.

The call connected this time.

“What are you doing?”

With a smile that wasn't quite a smile, Kurt said, “This is the middle of the night, so naturally, I'd be with a woman. What brings you to me?”

Broderick explained his situation to him.

Kurt instantly became serious, “It's only been one night, how did it end up like this?”

“Don't tell me you can't beat Catherine. If you really can't, then you deserve to die.”

“You...” Broderick was furious, but he had to rely on this d*mn kid now. He couldn't show off his power. If he offended him, that would be trouble.

“Catherine's strength is inferior to mine. Even if she were to pile up bodies, she couldn't surpass me. Therefore, her death is certain. That's without a doubt.”

“My fear is that I'll be ambushed by that old b*stard, Joseph, who might deliver a fatal blow when I'm severely injured.”

Kurt understood his intentions clearly and laughed. “So, you want me to deal a mental blow to Mr. Joseph?

“This is easy. I'll just have that miracle doctor give a strong dose of medicine to Mr. Joseph's son.

“When all hope is lost, Joseph will surely be mentally exhausted. By then, even if he makes a move, you will have a chance to catch your breath.”

The anger on Broderick's face faded a bit, and he said in a calm tone, “That's the favor I want from you. It seems we're on the same page after all.”

“Alright, I'll arrange it right away. When Joseph faces you in a life-or-death battle tomorrow, he will receive the news of his son's death.”

“Mr. Broderick, this is your only chance, you must seize it well. Otherwise, once Mr. Joseph regains his strength, it will be the end of you.”

“Don't worry. Even if it costs my son's life tomorrow, I will seize the position of the family head.”

“Mm-hmm.”

...

All night long, the Rogers family's residence was filled with the heavy scent of gunpowder.

Every place where the Rogers family's influence reached had become a battleground for both sides vying for power.

A fierce battle raged, ending with rivers of blood and mountains of corpses and bones.

Dawn broke, a faint light fills the sky.

Catherine, covered in blood, took one step at a time towards the main house.

Upon reaching the bottom of the stairs, she looked up at the master of the Rogers family standing at the door.

In the past, she always felt that she had a warm home, with parents who cherished her deeply.

And her father held her in the highest regard. Despite the objections of many, he supported his daughter in becoming the head of the family.

After her sudden realization, she understood his true intentions. Now, looking at his face, she found it utterly repugnant.

“I've exhausted all the people at my disposal, severely damaged the main house. Father, can you fulfill your promise now and release Lester?”

Lester...

The light in Joseph's eyes flickered.

That young man disappeared last night. After all, he was not a big shot, not as important as Wilbur, so the guards were more relaxed.

The person in charge came to report this morning, saying that someone had escaped.

“Well, if he has escaped, then be it.



The situation he wanted to see had already occurred.

And with that, the last bit of usefulness this girl had was thoroughly squeezed out.

“I have already killed that lad.”

The pupils of Catherine's compassionate eyes contracted sharply, her widened eyes staring at him in disbelief.

“What... what did you say? You... you killed Simon?”

Simon?

Joseph was taken aback, he strode down the steps and asked angrily, “What did you say? That young man is Mr. Simon?”

There was a rising sense of resentment in Catherine's eyes.

For the first time in her life, she harbored a murderous intent towards the man who had given her life.

He had used her thoroughly, which was bad enough, but now he had even harmed Simon.

“Do you think you could threaten me if he wasn't Simon?”

Joseph staggered two steps back, a flash of regret flickering in his eyes.

Simon was the newly appointed head of the Luther family.

He held him hostage to force the Luther family to compromise, which would undoubtedly provide him with a significant boost.

But now, due to his negligence, he let that young man escape.

D*mn it!

His bargaining chip had just escaped.

“What a fine job you've done, Catherine. You've actually allowed outsiders to infiltrate our family. Can you justify my years of nurturing and trust in you?”

Catherine burst into hearty laughter, tears rolling down her cheeks.

“Cultivate? Value? Haha, that's the funniest joke I've heard this year.

“I'm nothing more than a pawn in your hands. Don't make yourself out to be so noble. It's disgusting.”
